Roast and some whiskey, but barrel is well integrated here. Some caramel, toffee. Black pour with mocha head and lacing. Bitter end with some whiskey booze tang. Smooth mouthfeel. A hint of licorice. Tap at Churchkey.

500ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Nov 23. Thanks Jeremy for this! Pours dark brown, off-white cap. Pleasant deep dark malt elements, soft roast, but a very light whisky feel unfortunately. Went quite nicely with a mince pie.

Monday 27th November 2023, Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie. 500ml bottle brought by me, BB 10th December 2023, so just in date! I also provided the mince pies to go with this brew. Beige head on a dark body, looked a bit 'mean' to be honest. Malty with a slight whiskey note or two, thin bodied for a barrel aged Porter in my opinion, but I did enjoy it.

On tap at Station 1280, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of whiskey barrels, oak chops, and medium roast. Flavour is like a strong dry stout, with additional sugar and whiskey. Medium roast, sugary, whiskey-ish finish.

On tap @ Taplokaal Gist, Utrecht. Black with a thin beige head. Roasted malts, coffeee, vanilla and oak aroma. Sweet taste with a malt bitter finish. Great imperial porter.

Black with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have a sweet malt base and sweet whiskey too. Light roasted bitterness but not especially bitter in general.

Super dry and comes across quite thinned bodied. The barrel aging is nonexistent. Decent underlying flavours, but below avg for the style. Beer xmas advent 2020

Bottle. Black with a tan head. Aroma of warm roast malt whiskey. Flavour is warm malt, dark fruit, whiskey on a smooth chocolate stout finish.
